Stranding Highlights

CCSN responds to reports of stranded whales, dolphins, porpoises, and seals on Cape Cod and in southeastern Massachusetts.  Since 1999, CCSN responded to an average of 226 strandings of marine mammals annually.  Even more reports come into our hotline. Many are of resting animals that don’t need our help but do require us to educate the public.  Strandings may be single (one animal) or mass (two or more…sometimes as many as 100 or more!).  Visit the What is a stranding?  page for more information.
